[quote=“theconsultant, post:79, topic:765”][quote=“DiTo, post:78, topic:765”]One of my other posts covers ths http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=1431.0
once you get supervisor running whenever the droplet turn on, even after a server reset it should turn the miner on again
The best way to calculate profitablity I find is to use http://xpm.syware.de/ and see how much your minning per day. Then its a simple case of revenue - costs[/quote]
much appreciated. thanks!
EDIT
i’m just wondering you wrote this
“To do this we want to shut down our miner, by firstly exiting the log by pressing cntrl-z or cmd-z and then we shut the program down with the following command. Don’t worry it will automatically start up later in this guide.
sudo shutdown -h now”
will it automatically kick off because of the earlier code ? is there anything further to add to start it back up again?
i have used debian 7 x64 as per the other guide, does this conflict with the code you have written here?[/quote]
It will kick you off but it has to been turned off the make a snapshot so you can clone it and it should not be a conflict.
I’ve said it multiple times, and this is probably one of the sources of your guys problems - these instructions are designed to work for Debian 7.0 x64. That’s my recommendation at least.
[quote=“lindatess, post:80, topic:765”]It has taken me two weeks to reach payout costing me roughly $11.76 (probably a bit more considering I chose the 4 core and 2 core for a few hours, but my account history is too long for me to check…). The coins can be sold for $16.02 at the moment, so, roughly $2 a week profit.
On Dec 1, I found 5x my normal primecoins, which is the only thing that kept me afloat.
However, in the past few days the difficulty has been rising and the number of coins I have been mining has halved for some reason…
In the next two weeks I don’t know how much I will earn but the difficulty has jumped from 9.95 to 9.991 (hoping that bitcoin price doesn’t crash) but it will cost me $11.76…
Just curious, how does one get 55 VPS?

Well if you can have as many as you have credit cards/ paypal accounts

Technically you can. But if you break the rules, then Digital Ocean will terminate all of your accounts without warning which many include keeping balances and it is against Digital Ocean rules to open more than one account.
Yeah, they smited me today on that. More of a slap on the wrist, but they banned my one account, refunding my money. Luckily they left my other one alone.
Just wanted to give a shout out to the OP. The guide was simple and worked on the first try.
I’m completely new and this is about as straight forward as you can get.
If you try the ‘sudo apt-get update’ after you make your droplet and it sticks at 0% when connecting to debian, just reboot your droplet…I had it happen a couple times and that seemed to work.
I’ve been testing some things and think the best option on digitalocean is the $20 one instead of the $80 one. You get 2 cpu’s and 2gb ram (so you can get 8 cpu’s running (4 droplets @ $20) for $80 instead of just 4 (1 droplet @ $80). With that setup I get a little over 1000 primes/sec consistently for each droplet. I have 4 droplets of those running and a 5th is running the $80 one (just to test it out). The $80 option is 4 cpu’s and 8gb ram…you’d think you’d get double the primes/sec, but I’m only getting around 1350 primes/sec with this one. So, 4x the price and only a 33% increase…? Makes no sense. Gonna let it run for a day or two anyway just for testing. If the OP – or anyone – has any advice regarding this, I’d love to hear it (and yes my genproclimit is set to 4 for that one).
Also, has anyone tried asking the digitalocean reps for more droplets (I can only have 5)? Just wanted to see before asking, so they don’t ban me or something for mining…I’d like to run 20 of the $20 droplets ideally…
If there are better ways to mine by buying my own equipment please mention that as well…I promise (ha! internet promise ) once I get things going your help won’t be forgotten.
Like I said I’m new, so any and all advice is helpful. Thanks everyone!
And…if you’re in the giving mood: AP21oskxtZaQAvf3PdiFtP8DWcLUcGfjAk <— some xpm’s to get me going are much appreciated!
